“First Love”――

For Sakuta-kun, I might have been his “first love.”

But for me as well, that encounter at Shichirigahama was the most precious moment of my life.

When I hear this melody overlapping with the sound of the waves,

my heart overflows with the happiness of knowing that I was once someone’s special person

――(Sound of waves)――

The gentle waves rolled in and out, their echoes caressing the sand softly.

The air was clear, carrying the faint scent of the sea that brushed against her cheeks.

She gazed at the quiet ocean, took a small breath,

and began to speak in a calm, tender voice.

“My name is Shouko Makinohara.”

Her words spread gently, melting into the sea breeze.

Shouko smiled faintly and continued,

“The ‘Makinohara’ comes from Makinohara Service Area,

and the ‘Shouko’ means ‘the one who soars across the sky.’ ”

Her tone carried a quiet delight, as if she were discovering the meaning of her own name.

Her eyes were serene—filled with a soft, nostalgic light.

“――And what’s your name, boy?”

Her voice, blending with the sound of the waves, touched the heart like a gentle stroke.

Shouko nodded lightly, smiling.

“…I see.”

For a brief moment, a tender shade of relief appeared on her face.

Then she softly spoke his name, as if to etch it in her memory.

“Sakuta-kun, right?”

The tranquil waves wrapped around her feet,

and in that moment, only the sea, the wind, and the sound of his name remained in the world.
